So I'd like to switch to another method of fretwire install other then hammering in. What is everyones preferred method a dedicated fret press with cauls, a drill press with cauls or maybe one of those Stew mac vise grip or stew mac Bessey clamp design? If you could please explain why you like the method you're suggesting. |

I have a hammer brass and plastic that was part of a Stewmac fretting kit, but prefer the drill press with cauls because I think I have better control that way. On fretboards that have compound radius however I don't have enough cauls to get a perfect pressing on all so need to finish with hammer. |

Person posting can delete it by "edit" and ticking the delete post box at the very top of the edit screen. Took me a while to realise. |
